Simply used some 20x20 tubing to attach the flaps, then bolted the tubing to the towbar

Here's a pic of my flaps setup where I got the local steel fab shop to fold me up a 100 X 6 mm bracket and drill it for the towball which holds my 38 x 25 mm fence rail which you'll find is as cheap as any bar because it's high volume stuff. Bracket cost me $30 cash and they even cold galved it and as I recall a 2.4 M length of gal tubing (you only need about 1.8M) was around $16 from Bunnings. The flaps were HD fabric reinforced from Clark Rubber-  450mm off a 1.2M roll and cut in 2, as I found any decent HD mudflaps weren't particularly cheap.

Edit: Just a tip. You can't let your flaps touch the gravel whereas I was happy to let the road saw mine off to wherever because of the poly tarp final stone proofer. They do lift up with road speed naturally.
